As the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, the need for reliable and accessible public charging infrastructure has never been greater. Many EV drivers, including those without access to home charging and visitors travelling in hire vehicles, depend on public charging stations for convenient and dependable access to power while on the move.
At Elanga, we design, deploy and operate intelligent public EV charging solutions tailored to businesses, councils and public spaces across Australia. Supported by smart load management, flexible billing options and scalable technology, our infrastructure is designed to meet current demand while seamlessly adapting to the growing needs of EV drivers well into the future.
Why Invest in Public EV Charging?
Public EV chargers do more than power vehicles, they act as smart infrastructure that works for your business as hard as it works for your customers. With charging times offering an opportunity for prolonged visits, your location becomes a hub for eco-conscious drivers, encouraging increased foot traffic, longer dwell times, and boosted revenue. And because every Elanga site is built on intelligent, future-ready technology, you’re investing in infrastructure that scales with demand and keeps pace with where EV charging is heading next.
Electric vehicle adoption is set to rise significantly in the coming years, and smart public EV charging is becoming essential infrastructure for locations like:
- Shopping Centres
- Sports Clubs
- Tourist Destinations
- Council Facilities
- Service Stations

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need council or development approval to install public EV chargers?
Requirements vary by council, site type and the scale of installation. Elanga’s site assessment includes guidance on local compliance, signage and parking bay regulations, and we can liaise directly with councils or landlords where approvals are required as part of the project.
Are public EV chargers compliant with accessibility requirements?
Yes, accessibility is considered as part of our site design process, including bay placement, clearances and equipment height to meet relevant Australian accessibility standards. We’ll advise on the specific requirements applicable to your location during the site assessment.
Who is responsible for the electricity costs of public chargers?
This depends on your chosen billing model. Many site owners pass electricity costs directly to drivers through per-session or per-kWh charging, while others absorb the cost as a customer amenity. Elanga’s platform supports both approaches, and we can help you determine which model suits your site economics.
What happens if a charger is damaged, vandalised, or malfunctions?
All Elanga hardware is covered by manufacturer warranty, and our team provides ongoing monitoring and maintenance support. Our backend platform flags faults in real time, often before drivers report an issue, allowing for fast response and minimal downtime.
Can public chargers be used by all EV makes and models?
Yes. Elanga installs chargers compatible with all standard EV connector types used in Australia, and our OCPI compliant platform means drivers can authenticate and pay using a wide range of third-party apps and access cards, and not just one proprietary system.
How much does it cost to install a public EV charger, and are there financing options?
Cost depends on charger power output, the existing electrical infrastructure on-site, and whether any upgrades are required. You can purchase chargers outright as a capital investment, or explore financing arrangements that spread the cost over time. Elanga’s site assessment provides a clear cost breakdown so you can compare ownership models and choose what suits your budget.
Can public EV chargers be integrated with solar panels or battery storage?
Yes. Elanga can design charging infrastructure that connects to on-site solar generation or battery storage, reducing your reliance on grid electricity and lowering operating costs over time. This is worth discussing early in the site assessment if sustainability or energy independence is a priority for your business.
How will EV drivers find my charging location once it's installed?
The chargers can be listed on major EV charging directories and mapping platforms, making your location visible to drivers planning a route or searching for nearby charging while they’re out. This visibility is part of what turns a charger into a genuine customer acquisition tool, rather than just an amenity.
